Feedback Loop
Navigating Life's Feedback Loop: Lessons of Grace and Nonexistence
Lyrics
Wake up to the next patch of awkward silence and setbacks
Waking up to a recurring cycle of uncomfortable silence and setbacks.
The effort is not worth the while
Suggesting that the effort invested is not worthwhile.
It all ends up squandered and thrown on the pile
Efforts lead to waste and are discarded.
But you can't quantify my innocence
Claiming that one's innocence cannot be measured.
Can't put value on nonexistence
Highlighting the impossibility of assigning value to nonexistence.
Your time to jump off is overdue now
Implying that it's time to move on from a situation.
Your balance blocks out the sun
Suggesting a state of imbalance blocking positive aspects of life.
But how to determine if the lesson you're learning
Pondering how to determine if a lesson will lead to grace or positive outcomes.
Will set you down in grace?
Questioning the effectiveness of the lessons learned.
How to make sense of the world from the top of the fence?
Expressing difficulty in making sense of the world from a neutral standpoint.
We live, we learn, and forget
Summarizing the cycle of living, learning, and forgetting.
We suffer, fail, and regret
Acknowledging the experience of suffering, failure, and subsequent regret.
Our powerful words pale in the face of our debt
Noting the inadequacy of powerful words in the face of personal debts.
But you can't quantify my innocence
Reiterating the unquantifiable nature of one's innocence.
Can't put value on nonexistence
Emphasizing the inability to assign value to nonexistence.
Your time to jump off is overdue now
Repeating the idea that it's time to move on from a situation.
Your balance blocks out the sun
Reiterating a sense of imbalance blocking positive aspects of life.
But how to determine if the lesson you're learning
Revisiting the question of whether lessons lead to grace.
Will set you down in grace?
Repeating the questioning of the effectiveness of learned lessons.
How to make sense of the world from the top of the fence?
Reiterating the difficulty in making sense of the world objectively.
Nostalgia sings at every scent
Noting the presence of nostalgia triggered by scents.
Trials I could circumvent
Expressing a desire to avoid certain trials.
But in my apoplectic state
In a state of intense emotion or excitement, trials are unavoidable.
The feedback loop will repeat
Referring to a repeating cycle, possibly of negative experiences.
The feedback loop… It will repeat
Repeating the idea of a recurring feedback loop.
The feedback loop
Emphasizing the presence of a feedback loop.
The feedback loop
Repeating the notion of a feedback loop.
It will repeat
Reiterating the idea that the feedback loop will repeat.
The feedback loop
Stating again that the feedback loop will repeat.
